Lauren E. Talalay, Acting Director and Associate Curator, Kelsey Museum, University of Michigan states: "Dimitris Yeros stands as a unique figure in contemporary art. Painter, photographer, poet and performance artist, Yeros bridges these worlds with exceptional originality. He is, however, best known as a painter and photographer, creating lyrical and surreal paintings and provocative and richly textured photographs. Although he approaches these two media from different vantage points, one can detect a painterly eye in his photographs and a photographer's sensibility in his paintings. The results are beautifully crafted and arresting images that beckon the viewer to pause and contemplate the human condition."


Works by Dimitris Yeros are to be found in many private collections, galleries and museums both in Greece and abroad, inclding: The British Museum and The National Portrait Gallery in London, The Getty Museum in Los Angeles, The International Center of Photography in New York, The Tama Art University Museum in Tokyo.
